Honor has made quite a name for itself in the foldable market with its V series. After the success of the Magic V1, V2, and V3, the company is gearing up for the release of the Magic V4. Let’s dive into what we know about the upcoming device.
Honor Magic V4 Rumor Overview
Honor’s Magic V3 held the title of the thinnest book-style foldable phone previously, but Oppo recently took that crown with the Find N5 last month. However, Honor is expected to take that title back with the Magic V4, which is rumored to launch this June. Though this leak doesn’t specifically mention the name, everything suggests it is the Magic V4.
Design and Display
The Magic V4 is expected to be super sleek, under 9mm thin when folded, matching or even surpassing the Find N5’s slimness. The inner display will be an 8-inch LTPO screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2K resolution for smooth visuals. The cover screen will also be of the same panel and refresh rate and measure 6.45 inches. For durability, the device will have an IPX8 waterproof rating, and for added security, it will sport a side-mounted fingerprint sensor instead of an in-display one.
Performance and Battery
Rumor has it that the Magic V4 will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite chipset (full-core version) instead of the seven-core version used in the Oppo Find N5. In terms of battery, Honor is expected to push the Magic V4’s capacity to 6,000 mAh, which could set a new benchmark for foldable phones. Foldable devices often struggle in the battery department compared to regular smartphones. So we hope Honor shows its charm and changes its record.
Camera and Features
For photography, the Magic V4 will come with a 50MP main camera with a 1/1.5’’ sensor. The standout upgrade is a 200MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and a 1/1.4’’ sensor, which is definitely a big leap from the 50MP zoom lens on the Magic V3. There’s likely another sensor in the mix, but we are not sure about the details. Other rumored features include wireless charging and satellite communication support.
